The Foz do Iguaçu, or Iguaçu Falls, are Nature’s amazing display of water power. They get their name from a Guarani or Tupi Indian word that means “big water.” Fitting, because the Falls are 80 m (262 feet) high and cover 3 kilometres (2 miles) in length.
It is not just one waterfall, but 275 falls between the Argentinian and Brazilian border. They are the largest waterfall system in the world. The Iguaçu Falls lie deep in the heart of the sub-tropical rainforest of the Iguaçu National Park. The best-known of the falls is the Devil’s Throat, which dumps 20,000 tons of water per second over the cliff-side. The spray mists over the tourists brave enough to venture out along the boardwalk.
Local legends say that the Iguaçu Falls were created by an angry God who cut the river in half over his lost love. She ran away with someone else and the waterfalls the God created sentenced them to fall forever.
Whether you believe the story or not, the Iguaçu Falls offer spectacular views of nature not seen anywhere else in the world. Maybe you’ll be like the conquistador who discovered the Falls and find something magical of your own.
